A monster that slithers down the chimney on Christmas Eve to disembowel children in their sleep and dine on their intestines. Sometimes it will stuff a child or two into a sack and save them later for a snack. He is like the evil opposite of Santa. If Santa represents all that is good, the Krampus is the exact opposite.
You don't what to know about the Christmas Krampus; it will ruin Christmas for you.

Nights beginning traditionally on December 5'th, celebrating the legend of Krampus. In parts of Europe, people dress as Krampus, spanking women with birch branches, going door to door to scare children, only to be bought off by the parents giving them smokes and liquor.
Krampus Nights have expanded into Krampus Weekends, some are moving to make Krampus Nights from December 5'th to December 24'th as a chance to vent one's frustrations and anti-consumer induced holiday spirit as lies. Krampus Nights are a chance to rant about what frustrates you, get it out of your system, then enjoy the holiday season as intended.
I'm going to Austria to celebrate Krampus Nights! Booze, smokes and spankings! Who could ask for more?

Referring to the condition of a person's foot. A person who does not clip their toenails, wash their feet, and lets their feet smell, all with no shame or attempt to hide it. Feet that resemble the foot of the Christmas Krampus. A creature that looks like the lovechild of Big Foot and the Devil.
Did you see the Krampus Foot on that person?
Dude! You really need to take care of that Krampus Foot.

Krampus is a bitter old man that's dangerous. The word comes from Austria and was used in reference to a demon-like creature that beats bad children at Christmas in order to scare other children into behaving.
Dale: I'm not messing with that 80 year old War Veteran over there. He is Krampus.
The term for a piece of media that unintentionally executes a major plot point (usually the finale) in a way that makes most audience members misinterpret the plot point as drastically differently from the way it canonically happens. Named for the 2015 film Krampus, which historically ends with the family getting a happy It's A Wonderful Life type 'it was all undone and is okay' happy ending, but is so badly visually executed on screen that almost everyone who views the film leaves convinced the family is trapped in a snowball in hell for all eternity.
(Often, but not always, the interpreted major plot point or finale is drastically less satisfying than the canon one).
"I hated that show! Ugh, it was so disappointing! Like I liked it until the finale, but it's so stupid when the end is just 'and it was all a dream'..."
"No-no--that's not how it ends! I looked it up; according to the director, he's just waking up to bookend it and show things are normal again. The canon is it all really happened."
"Wait, really? It looks nothing like that!"
"Yeah, it's a good show but it /really/ suffers Krampus Syndrome..."
